Hush Hush

He tip toes from brick to brick

And skips the cracks or he gets sick

Counting sheep, losing sleep

Now his lids are heavy set

Run for it, they're on the prowl

These demons never make a sound

Cries ignored, this cardboard box will keep him dry for now

Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)

Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)

And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way

Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory

There might as well be blood stains on this carpet floor

He's laying face down wondering what fighting back is for

Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down

Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down

And I'll be singin' when I turn around

"La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la"

Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)

Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)

And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way

Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory

Wars waged on life

We wave it in defeat

Take down the white

Soldier on your feet

I march head strong to shout aloud that

Now, now, now I'm free
